【Announcement】Follow "Qidian Reading" to get the first-hand information about the 515 red envelope event. Students who haven't grabbed red envelopes after the New Year can now show their skills.

It was a very ordinary night, and the gate of the prison was unusually quiet. The dozens of guards were all elite soldiers, exuding a faint aura of killing intent, clearly veterans who had seen battle. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had only established the Ming Dynasty for over twenty years, and there were still threats from other countries. It was impossible for the soldiers not to be elite.

The few dozen soldiers guarding the prison gate might seem few, but there were plenty of people inside the prison, mostly distributed across its nine levels. There were also experts stationed there, and with the complex terrain and various traps and hidden weapons, the prison was not easy to breach.

Moreover, there were troops stationed nearby, ready to provide support at any time. This was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, where experts were abundant. Who would dare to break into the prison and offend the Ming court?

Yan Shisan's figure had already appeared in a dark corner at some point. The dozens of soldiers were very alert, but they did not notice Yan Shisan who had come close to them.

Not only these soldiers, but even Ren Woxing and others did not detect Yan Shisan's presence. Only Dongfang Bubai knew, as he didn't need to search for him; his sword would naturally tell him where Yan Shisan was.

Yan Shisan stood coldly there, blending seamlessly with the surrounding darkness. Even the bright torchlight could not melt the darkness around him.

He was like a venomous snake, hiding in the dark, ready to strike a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.

Now he was waiting for an opportunity, not really waiting, as he was confident he could deal with these seemingly strong soldiers in an instant. But if he could save more effort, why not wait a little longer?

Soon, the opportunity Yan Shisan was waiting for arrived. The Five Poisons' reputation was well-deserved. No one knew what poison they had used, but in such a large space, the poison still had considerable power when it reached the soldiers.

Perhaps this power was not enough to deal with experts, but it was more than enough to handle these soldiers who had no martial arts skills.

The soldiers unconsciously inhaled the poison. Despite their robust bodies, they felt dizzy within three seconds.

They were indeed elite, and they immediately realized something was wrong. The faces of the dozens of soldiers changed, and they raised their weapons, preparing to shout, but it was too late.

Because Yan Shisan had already drawn his sword.

All the torches around them dimmed slightly, and the dozens of soldiers felt the world around them darken. They seemed to have suddenly appeared in a dark space.

An intangible fear, like a terrifying hand, gripped their hearts, making them suffocate. Their mouths opened wide, but no sound came out.

They could only stare dumbly as a pitch-black sword gently pierced their throats.

When Yan Shisan revealed himself, the dozens of soldiers had already fallen to the ground with their mouths open, each with a thin, bloody crack in their throats. The cracks were very fine, but they were just right to ensure the deaths of these dozens of people.

The Bone Poison Sword, however, had not a drop of blood on it, still emitting a dark luster.

Not far away, Dongfang Bubai's eyes subconsciously narrowed. Yan Shisan's sword skills were getting stronger, and he might soon grasp the Fourteenth Sword, breaking through to the Master level.

The others were even more shocked, as this was the first time they had truly seen Yan Shisan in action, including Ren Woxing. A sense of fear crept into their hearts.

"Move!" Dongfang Bubai's clear, unyielding voice echoed in everyone's ears.

In the blink of an eye, over two hundred people gathered at the gate. The sturdy, eight-meter-high gate was tightly closed. Dongfang Bubai looked at the Five Poisons, who nodded, indicating that all the poisons were ready to be used at any time.

Dongfang Bubai carefully sensed the positions of the people inside the gate. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his right hand rested on the hilt of the White Peak Sword. Most people involuntarily held their breath, knowing that the real challenge of breaking into the prison was about to begin.

At the same time, they were also tense and excited, watching Dongfang Bubai draw his sword. Yan Shisan, who had lost to Dongfang Bubai before, also watched closely, as this was the first time he had seen Dongfang Bubai draw his sword since then.

Everyone was ready to charge in as soon as the gate was broken.

"Swish!"

A somewhat low-pitched sound of a sword being drawn rang out. A five-meter-long white sword light suddenly appeared in the night, emitting a suffocating sharpness. It shot towards the gate like lightning, slashing through it with great force.

"Boom!!"

The sturdy gate was immediately shattered by the sword light, which seemed to cut through anything. The entire massive, sturdy gate was split into pieces.

"Who is it?"

"Bold!"

...

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!"

...

Inside the gate, shouts of shock and anger echoed as the gate shattered, but these sounds quickly faded, leaving only scattered screams.

The dust at the gate was blown away by the palm winds of the group. When they saw the scene inside, they all drew a sharp breath. The gate, which was already shattered, was not the only thing.

There were originally over twenty guards inside the gate, but none of them were alive. Each was cut in half, their eyes wide open, as if they had died without realizing it.

Over twenty people, resulting in over forty segments of bodies, but some were cut in half from the upper body, with their arms separated from their bodies, making it more than forty segments.

Each segment of the bodies had a very neat cut, as if they had been sliced like tofu. Blood gushed out, quickly turning the entire ground red. The scene was like a small hell, terrifying and suffocating.

They could imagine a sword light, sharp enough to cut through anything, suddenly descending from the sky, slicing everything in its path in half.

Before these people could react, they only managed to let out a scream before leaving the world.

Dongfang Bubai's face was cold and indifferent, and this gruesome scene did not affect his emotions at all. He walked straight into the gate, and the others quickly followed.

At this point, the entire prison was alarmed, and people rushed over.

The Five Poisons also took action, and the prison was suddenly filled with countless poisonous creatures.

Snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and other poisonous creatures crawled out from every small crevice, charging fearlessly at the people. The prison was immediately in chaos.

Everyone knew something was wrong, and someone was trying to break into the prison. People immediately activated the prison's traps, and warning arrows flew into the sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The warning arrows exploded brightly in the sky, drawing the attention of most of Jinling City. The spirits of countless forces tightened, and many began to move.

Dongfang Bubai's group split into two. Yan Shisan and Ren Woxing, along with the Five Poisons' patriarch and dozens of others, stayed at the gate to guard, while the rest followed Dongfang Bubai straight to the ninth level of the prison.

Before they had walked a hundred meters, a group of about a hundred soldiers confronted them. They were indeed elite, ignoring the countless poisonous creatures on the ground and charging directly at their enemies.

"Clank! Clank! Clank!!" The hundred soldiers, dressed in consistent armor, holding weapons, marched in unison towards Dongfang Bubai and his group.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had seen the warning arrows in the sky and knew he only had two incense sticks' worth of time, about half an hour, and would not waste time with these people.

"Swish!"

A light sound rang out, and Dongfang Bubai's figure did not stop. A four-meter-long sword light, four meters wide, rushed ahead of him, slicing through the hundred soldiers.

"Thud!!"

"Ah!!"

The sword light cut through the soldiers like a hot knife through butter, slicing through them without any resistance. The seemingly sturdy armor on the soldiers was useless.

After Dongfang Bubai and his group passed, only severed limbs and split weapons remained on the ground.

After this group of soldiers, there were no more obstacles on the first level of the prison, but there were still traps. Dongfang Bubai led the way, and any trap that was not destroyed was immediately cut to pieces by his sword.

Led by the Five Poisons' child, Dongfang Bubai and his group reached the second level of the prison, where they encountered another group of soldiers. Without hesitation, Dongfang Bubai sent them to the afterlife with a single sword strike.

Then came the traps on the second level. Some had already been destroyed by the poisonous creatures and could not be activated, while others were immediately cut to pieces by Dongfang Bubai as soon as they were activated.

Dongfang Bubai did not stop for a moment, and the others did not have a chance to act, only following him quickly.

Only the Five Poisons' child was controlling the countless poisonous creatures, ensuring they did not attack Dongfang Bubai's group. The Five Poisons' patriarch stayed at the gate to prevent the poisonous creatures from attacking Yan Shisan and the others, while also controlling them to continue attacking others.

First level, second level, third level, fourth level...

Dongfang Bubai, like an incredibly sharp sword, moved forward, cutting through everything in his path, whether it was people or traps. With a single sword strike, anything and anyone was shattered.

Zhang Chengfeng and the others still had no chance to act, only following Dongfang Bubai forward, forward, and forward...

Thirteen minutes later, Dongfang Bubai and his group had already reached the eighth level of the prison. This speed was largely due to the countless poisonous creatures, which had reduced the number of obstacles in the later levels, as many had been bitten to death.

Even Zhang Chengfeng and the others were somewhat alarmed, wondering where the Five Poisons had controlled so many poisonous creatures.

"Beasts, looking for death!"

"Where did all these poisonous creatures come from?"

...

At the checkpoint leading from the eighth level to the ninth level, two late-stage Xiantian experts were continuously clearing the poisonous creatures, cursing loudly.
